Chapter 453 - 112: I Will Stand Against the World Alone, Part 2
After all, for the top-tier, major Player Alliances, an ability like the Divine Gift. Resurrection Skill was certainly enticing. However, its high cost and limitations made it more of a trump card for desperate situations than a standard enhancement to their combat strength.
Besides, the Lord World was fraught with peril. No one could guarantee that they or their core members wouldn’t meet an untimely end. If that happened, being able to turn to Tingfeng and use his Divine Gift of Resurrection to reverse their losses would undoubtedly be a lifeline in a desperate situation.
As such, almost no major player faction would be foolish enough to make an enemy of Tingfeng just because of this Divine Technique. After all, offending someone who could potentially grant them resurrection was tantamount to cutting off their own path of retreat.
It was precisely because they recognized this that the Freljord Alliance, upon learning that Tingfeng had acquired the Divine Gift of Resurrection but had not yet been successfully recruited, chose not to deliberately conceal the information.
From the perspective of the Freljord Alliance’s upper echelons, Tingfeng had always been ostentatious and poor at concealing things. A Divine Technique of this magnitude, capable of shifting the entire balance of power, would inevitably be revealed through his actions sooner or later. Rather than letting it be exposed passively, they decided to proactively use it as a bargaining chip to curry favor.
Through the internal channels of the various major Player Alliances in the Hua Country region, they precisely disseminated this intelligence to all the great powers.
This move not only showcased the strength of the Freljord Alliance’s intelligence network but also put every potential beneficiary in their debt, making these major player factions unwittingly owe the Freljord Alliance a favor.
This maneuver of leveraging the situation to build their own momentum undoubtedly laid important groundwork for the Freljord Alliance’s future schemes.
...
However, the "Divine Gift. Sealed Resurrection" ability that Qin Feng possessed was unlike any known Divine Technique in the Lord World. Its terrifying nature far surpassed the limits of any player’s comprehension.
The most heaven-defying aspect of this Divine Technique was that it completely shattered the barrier between the Lord World and the Real World. Even outside the framework of the Lord World, in a modern city in reality, it could still unleash its unparalleled might, applying its Divine Gift’s Authority directly onto living beings.
Even more chilling was the implication of absolute annihilation contained within the word "Sealed." This wasn’t a mere support skill for resurrection; it was a final judgment that stood above the very rules of life and death.
Once the "Divine Gift. Sealed Resurrection" was successfully activated, a golden light of divine punishment would pierce the target’s body and soul, directly erasing the very core of their soul’s origin. This was the fundamental pillar of existence, an essence that could not be replicated no matter how many times one was resurrected or reborn.
Even if the target held legendary Resurrection Scrolls, Divine Artifact-level Rebirth Items, had the secret protection of Deities who governed Destiny, or relied on the core rules of their Lord’s Hall for a cross-plane resurrection, all such measures would be rendered useless before this sealing power.
It would completely sever the target’s connection to all worldly life force, eliminating any possibility of returning from the dead and making death an eternal, irreversible end.
This ability to ignore existing rules and rewrite the logic of life and death was a forbidden domain that no Lord Player had ever breached since the inception of the Lord World.
It was no longer just a "Powerful skill" but a terrifying Authority capable of overthrowing the world order.
The Lord Players of the Peace Dove Alliance present, even the core members who had experienced grand spectacles like Plane Wars, witnessed Dragon Breath incinerating cities, and seen the descent of Deities, were now scared witless by this unbelievable Divine Authority.
Moments ago, when facing Qin Feng’s Holy Flame, they had felt fear, yet they still harbored thoughts of a desperate, last-ditch fight.
’After all, the worst that could happen was dying once.’
’Then just wait out the 12-hour resurrection timer.’
But now, as the true power of his "Sealed Resurrection" was laid bare, a chill originating from the depths of their souls instantly consumed them. Their teeth chattered, and a cold tremor, a hundred times more violent than before, wracked their bodies.
Cold sweat soaked through their armor, and their legs felt as if they were filled with lead, refusing to move. Their eyes held nothing but absolute terror and despair.
They finally understood. They weren’t just facing an "exceptionally powerful Lord from Hua Country." The man before them, with the game ID of Tingfeng, wielded a forbidden power capable of rewriting all the rules. He was a lawmaker walking among mortals, a terrifying entity who could control life and death as he pleased.
To be his enemy wasn’t a question of a gap in strength; it was like an ant trying to challenge the might of the heavens. From the very beginning, their fate was sealed—a doom from which there was no return.
Subsequently, after repeated confirmations by several core Lord Players of the Peace Dove Alliance—which included, but was not limited to, using the highest-level soul-detecting items in the game and even attempting to locate the central hub of John’s Lord’s Hall—the only result they found was a cold, deathly silence.
John.
He was well and truly dead.
The core of his soul had been completely erased by Tingfeng. No matter what special Resurrection Technique was used—even those forbidden in the Real World—he could never be brought back.
What was even more horrifying was that as the core of his soul was annihilated, John’s Lord’s Hall, far away in the Lord World, vanished completely in a silent burst of energy, leaving no trace behind.
This meant that the resurrection contract between John and his Lord’s Hall had been permanently erased by "Divine Gift. Sealed Resurrection" from both the Lord World and the Real World dimensions.
"What the hell!"
"What is going on?"
"Has Tingfeng gone insane?"
"Our region’s representative Lord Player already made it clear that we wouldn’t participate in any further joint assaults targeting players from Hua Country!"
"So why is he coming after us?"
A high-ranking player from the Peace Dove Alliance standing nearby clenched his fists, his expression grim. "No," he said in a low voice.
"He isn’t targeting us."
His words instantly silenced the restless crowd, and all eyes focused on him.
Seeing this, the high-ranking player slowly lowered his head and continued.
"Tingfeng intends to use all of us in this region as messengers to deliver a death warrant to those foreign Lord Players who are sharpening their blades against them."
"The signal he wants to send is clear."
"If these foreign players fail to completely crush the Holy Empire under Tingfeng’s command in the upcoming ’Plane War’..."
"...then the terrible price awaiting them will be Tingfeng’s indiscriminate retaliation in the days to come, using his ’Divine Gift. Sealed Resurrection’ ability."
The high-ranking player paused, each word piercing the listeners’ hearts like an icicle.
"Think about it clearly."
"That’s the ultimate power, capable of erasing the very core of a soul!"
"Whether it’s on a Plane Battlefield in the Lord World or here in the Real World, which we thought was perfectly safe, he can completely wipe out any Lord Player who participates in this war."
Hearing this, someone in the crowd, their face deathly pale, immediately retorted.
"But the Real World is a place we all agreed to collectively maintain as a zone of peace!"
"How does he dare..."
Before he could finish, the high-ranking player from the Peace Dove Alliance cut him off, his voice laced with despair.
"There’s nothing he wouldn’t dare!"
"The Real World stopped being our safe zone a long time ago!"
"Or rather, from the moment Tingfeng revealed that Divine Technique, this place became a safe zone for him and him alone!"
"From now on, only Tingfeng can act with impunity in the Real World. The rest of us will have to live in his shadow!"
"No matter where we run, once he sets his sights on us, it’s over. Unless we can defeat him, we won’t even get a second chance. We’ll just be completely erased from this world!"
As he spoke, an undeniable chill emanated from the high-ranking player’s voice, and his eyes closed involuntarily.
"And besides!"
"So many of us Lord Players, from all these different countries, banding together to target the Hua Country region alone... that in itself is a blatant violation of the Lord World’s unwritten rules!"
"We were the ones who broke the rules first. He’s been pushed to the point where he’s ready to flip the whole table. It’s perfectly reasonable. We don’t even have the right to condemn him..."
